Google and Microsoft Duking It Out?

Finally, after 10 years of sitting on its laurels, Microsoft is beginning to feel competitive pressure ... from Google.  I opened a gmail account several months ago and I prefer the Google, web-based email program to Outlook -- by far.  Not just for the searching, which is excellent -- as one would expect from Google, but because the interface seems lighter, easier to use, less bulky, and I've become so spoiled by the keyboard shortcuts that I keep trying to use them when I go back to Outlook.

So score one for Google on email ... at least for personal and light professional use.
